Grace Day

Use today to pray, rest, and reflect on this week’s reading, giving thanks for the grace that is ours in Christ.

God in his holy dwelling isa father of the fatherlessand a champion of widows.God provides homes for those who are deserted.He leads out the prisoners to prosperity,but the rebellious live in a scorched land.—Psalm 68:5-6

Today is Saturday, and I was prepared to do a long study, to have to consider something new, to have to focus on the task at hand. But what a lovely surprise that today, God is reminding me gently to S L O W down and inviting us to take a REST as He commands us to do throughout scripture, to reflect on what has transpired that week, to praise Him for His goodness and mercy, and to be refreshed by His amazing love for us. Thank you Jesus!

Kathy… this is such great news! Praising God with you today! He is sovereign and mighty to save! Treasure your time with your hubby! You never know when it will be your last embrace, kiss or I love you… ❤️

I wanted to update all of you on my husband. He had open-heart surgery yesterday. Everything went the way it was supposed to. They went in and repaired the aneurysm and replaced the valve. I got to talk to him last night about 5:30. He was awake (sort of) and off the ventilator. He will be in ICU probably through the weekend and then will be in a room for 3 to 5 days.
I am almost speechless at the grace and mercy shown to us by our Papa God. The last two weeks have been the worst and the best two weeks of my life. The lessons I have learned, the tenderness I have seen from God, the prayers of His people have absolutely blown me away. Ya’ll, every time I got discouraged or scared, God put a person in my path with the exactly right thing to say, or a song came on the radio, or I opened my Bible and read words that spoke such comfort and peace. All of you in this study were part of that. Your prayers and words of encouragement meant more to me than I could ever say. Please keep praying for healing, for freedom from infection or complications, for strength and yes, I’ll even ask for prayers for patience.
I am praising God especially loudly today. His hand has been all over this.
Be blessed, my sweet, precious sisters. I can’t wait to meet all of you someday in heaven.

Thank you for this wonderful update. I’m sure your testimony of faith in the midst of this will bless and influence many. I will continue to pray for Roger to have a steady and uneventful recovery and for you to continue to be amazed at God’s faithfulness to you all.

I also came to SRT this morning hoping to here about Rogers surgery. Thank you God for successful surgery. I pray for ongoing healing,safety from infection. Thank you God for providing peace and strength for Kathy during all of this.

Thank You Jesus for this healing! Kathy, I pray your Family has renewed energy and rests in the Lord this grace day, with hearts full of joy just knowing that our daddy is picking you all up in His arms and bringing you to higher ground ❤️

So happy all went well. I thought of both of you yesterday and just kept saying little prayers all day long. I will continue to pray for complete recovery. I see in the not so distant future the both of you holding hands reflecting on God’s grace, protection, and mercy throughout this trial. It will be a wonderful testimony to God’s glory. Thank you for the update.
